Any deal that brings Antetokounmpo to Boston will seemingly include Jaylen Brown, but he is not the only player the Bucks like on the Celtics. According to NBA insider Marc Stein, they are also interested in Hugo González. He was the No. 28 overall pick in last year’s NBA Draft.

González played in 74 games last season, making three starts. He averaged 3.9 points overall, but is only 20 years old and could be a solid piece for the Bucks as they rebuild. He flashed his potential in March in a start against the Bucks.

He scored a season-high 18 points against Milwaukee last season, so perhaps they liked what they saw and want him included in a deal. The Bucks will keep Brown, according to NBA insider Shams Charania. The Bucks reportedly want young players and assets as well as Brown, and González fits the bill.

The Bucks are expected to trade Antetokounmpo before Tuesday’s NBA Draft, and the Celtics have a chance to land him. The two-time MVP and Jayson Tatum would be a phenomenal duo in Boston.
